On a four-night break you could continue on to the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port.

Another short break option is to head south on the Shropshire Union Canal (the ‘Shroppie’) from Bunbury and bear off down the Middlewich Branch and cruise to the world famous Anderton Boat Lift, also known as The Cathedral of the Canals.
